The spirit of our nation has been awakened by the terrorists attack on that unforgettable tuesday morning at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Unfortunately, It also has awakened a hatred towards a religious group that completely abolishes terrorism. Many of us are sad and angry because of what happened and what is about to happen.
Ignorance has taken over big and small cities across the country, in a constant stream of a disturbing sturdy anti-Arab, anti-Muslim sentiment rising from frustrated Americans and it must stop. Anger is a reasonable thing, yet it can lead people to behave irrationally, in this case that could mean attacking others whether it is verbally, physically or mentally. We, as people with more "understanding" must explain these less knowledgeable people that the Arabs and Muslims are not guilty of what the terrorists did and that we mustn't judge people just because they fit a certain profile, being their ethnicity or religion. Hate is nonsense, and one shouldn't feed that sensible part of ourselves. We must keep in mind to be productive, positive, and certainly not reactive.
Anger almost always sits on top of some deeper, more painful emotion. So, for most of us who are experiencing anger right now, we find it easier to talk about the anger than we do about the deeper emotions of sadness or fear that drives it. My fear is that all of these attacks will eventually lead to war, whether it is nuclear, environmental, or ground No matter what we call it, it is still war. However, these terrorists attacked us because they know that the U.S. will not stand with their arms crossed, in fact they are craving for our attack. Now is time for the questions: Do they not care about all of these innocent people that have died or are about to die because of this raising new war? In my opinion, they do not care, I guess that's why they are called terrorists. They should let all the innocent of this dispute that they cannot seem to solve in a civilized manner.
